Project 1 – Farm Animals

For my class Y is for Yellow we had our first project deadline this weekend. We had to complete a series of work. It was up to us what we wanted to do but it needed to be connected and something of our own. For this project I chose to make more of the wire animals, but do a farm series. My mother in law asked if I would make her a rooster for the up coming Japanese New Year. That was my starting point, however making this rooster was the hardest animal I have made yet! I learned some things about myself from doing this project. I don’t like deadlines!! I had trouble enjoying the process and found myself stressed out a lot. Making these on my own time frame I find restful and fun. Anyway, I am proud of myself for completing these on time mostly,as this was a big goal and challenge for me. 🙂

Thanks so much Elaine! I am so glad you like them- i do like to make them happy always! 🙂 and I am so glad you think the rooster is cocky looking!! That’s good ! I hope my mother in law will like him too! 🙂 sending love

Susie,
I think rooster turned out great! But I hear you on meeting deadlines and doing things you haven’t quite gotten the hang of it — it makes me grumpy and irritated! 🙂 I’m sure you are not like that in the least and are gracious about fulfilling the request from your mother-in-law! Soon your barnyard will be full! 🙂

Thanks Valerie! I hope she likes it too! Yes I get grumpy and irritated too! I don’t like rushing especially when it comes to creative things- it makes it hard to think ! Thanks for understanding! 🙂 and for the encouragement!

I love your farm animals, Susie! Especially the rooster! He even looks like he’s strutting. 🙂 You have an amazing gift of creativity. I can see where deadlines would make it less enjoyable though. Take care and God bless!
